Email alerts - supposed to have rrd images?
All -
When I receive an alert based on an alerting check, I get a box at the bottom of the alert that looks like images are supposed to be included, but they aren't able to resolve. Checking the email's html, there isn't a url included with the listed images. The html is attached. Any insight would be appreciated -
Thanks,
Matt
Hi,
The image is included in the html you posted. It's an inline image, not all e-mail clients (notably Outlook) support this format.

The old alerts are text based, the new alerts should send html and graphs.
My issue turned out to be my spam filter interpreting the base64 encoded image as a uuencoded message, and then converting the uuencoded to ascii which resulted in all the + signs being replaced with + within the base64 encoded data.
Example
<img src="data:image/png;base64,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

You can encourage Microsoft to spend the tiny amount of effort required to support inline images.
Inline images was the easiest way to get graphs into the emails, the alternative way is to attach them to the email and then reference them, but that's more complex and it's not going to be done at the moment.
